A video of my Greenie. Ouch!

Damn....

I'm sort of worried about my 7" delhezi in with my 12" green... I've seen the aro try to nip it before, but i didn't think they could eat a 7" fish.

It all depends on whether your arowana wants to work out the relationship properly. In other words, you won't know till you try.

If you take a look at the video again, you will notice that at the back of the tank near the submerged powerhead, there is a Channa pleuropthlama. This snakehead is only 7 inches and the arowana gave it a chance after trying to kill it.

But in this case, the 6" toman was not given a chance. I think I should pump up my remaining tomans to about 7" and see how things work out.

Well, my green doesn't tolerate tankmates that swim a lot. He doesn't mind tankmates that chill on the bottom like my bichirs, but he gave a 9" lima a weekly beating.

My green chases the 7" del when it goes up for air.

You only have the birchir and catfish in there with your green? Any other tankmates.

Sometimes, adding more tankmates will help.

No, i got rid of the lima, it got beat up really bad.

I have 6 bichirs in there. My green even sometimes trys to nip my ~12" endi.

Here is two parts of a video of my 13" Greenie eating a.....

6" snakehead (toman). Notice in the tank, got another snakehead about 7". My aro's tankmate. The aro sure can tell the difference.

I love Snakeheads too... Just that big fish eat small fish...

I got quite a few SH around.

I don't know whether to hoot or holler.

I like Aro's and all, but no snakehead deserves that kind of treatment.

Am I wrong? Anyone?

It's hard enough to get them now, and you use him as food?
